Chapter 354 Su Xiuer is getting engaged

Su Xiaoxiao nodded to Pei Yuan and said, "That's right, this isn't a big pancake, you're wrong, this is called a birthday cake."

Pei Yuan then learned that this thing was called a birthday cake.

Su Xiaoxiao cut him a piece, and he tasted the sweet cream on top, which was very fragrant. Although the cake itself wasn't very fluffy, it was still delicious.

"Did you make this, Xiaoxiao?"

Pei Yuan thought that he had never seen such beautiful pastries before and that they must have been bought from a large restaurant.

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "No, I made this myself. This is the first time I've made one; we call it a birthday cake where I'm from."

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao had already turned the lights back on. She saw Pei Yuan open his big, inquisitive eyes and ask, "Where is your place?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. How was she supposed to explain this to him? If she said that she had traveled from another time, how could she explain it to him clearly? Would he be unable to accept it?

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to change the subject, saying, "Where I'm from... sigh, maybe it's because I haven't been back for too long, I'm starting to ramble. Where else could it be? It's all on this planet!"

"What ball?"

When Su Xiaoxiao realized she couldn't continue, perhaps because she hadn't forgotten her past life's memories, those casual remarks would take Pei Yuan a long time to explain.

Actually, where did she come from? That's a bit strange. Moreover, her personality is very different from the original owner's. It's like she's a completely different person. To put it bluntly, it's as if something strange has possessed her soul. She seems to have been possessed.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't really explain her feelings, she just felt that everyone liked her the way she was now.

But she had witnessed the original owner's behavior before, and she thought that person was lazy, greedy, and wicked, but those were all things from her past.

"Look, the stars outside are so bright, there are so many of them!" Su Xiaoxiao felt that if they continued talking about this topic, it would easily expose more problems.

"Yes, the moon is very round!"

Pei Yuan's voice became even gentler at this moment, and his eyes were sparkling, as if they could hold the stars and the sea.

Su Xiaoxiao hugged Su Ping'an tightly and rested her head on his shoulder. "Even though it's just the two of us on this birthday, how do you feel about it?"

Pei Yuan immediately replied happily, "Although it's just the two of us, this is the happiest birthday I've had in years!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled too, her smile was very gentle, and she was actually quite satisfied with her performance today.

Nothing happened that night. The next day at daybreak, Su Wangcai rushed over. Su Xiaoxiao thought it was about something at the workshop, but it turned out to be about something at the Su family's old house. What kind of trouble had arisen again?

Su Wangcai said that his mother told him to come and find Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan to go together, saying that there would be another family meeting.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Pei Yuan, who seemed to be telling her to go over. It looked like something was about to happen again.

Upon entering, they found the entire family present, with Old Man Su sitting at the head of the table. He had set out very formal chairs for Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan, inviting them to sit down. Su Xiaoxiao noticed that only his mother and father were seated; in such a solemn occasion, he and Pei Yuan felt they had no right to sit.

"We two younger generation members won't sit down; our elder brother and sister-in-law haven't even sat down yet!"

"Xiaoxiao, Peiyuan, you two sit down. We have something to discuss with you!"

"It's obvious," Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "what kind of trick are they up to now?" But this time, she saw that Old Madam Wang was in a pretty good mood, with a smile on her face.

Su Xiaoxiao also noticed that Su Xiuer's face was beaming with pride, as if some great joy had come to the Su family.

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao stopped being polite. This so-called family meeting was actually just a ploy to target her and Pei Yuan.

So, by that logic, they were indeed the main characters of this family meeting. It was better for them to sit and listen, mainly because they were afraid of hearing any more shocking or deadly topics from Old Mrs. Wang's mouth and being so frightened that they would sit on the ground again.

It was quite nice to have seats this time. Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao had just sat down when they heard Old Madam Wang happily say to all of them, "Our Xiu'er is getting engaged."

"engagement?"

Su Xiuer nodded shyly and said, "Yes!"

Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao asked her in unison, "Whose house did you book?"

However, Su Xiuer was still hesitant and didn't say anything.

This is strange, even though Su Xiaoxiao knows that Su Xiuer is spending all her time with Prince Gong.

But if Prince Gong wanted to marry Su Xiuer, Su Xiaoxiao felt it wouldn't be that easy, right?
Su Xiuer didn't say anything; she glanced at Old Madam Wang.

Old Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, then changed the subject, "This matter is still under discussion. I've been thinking these past few days that if Xiuer gets engaged, she should definitely receive a dowry. But the other party is a very important family. What kind of dowry would they even consider?"

As she spoke, Old Madam Wang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao beside her and said, "Xiaoxiao, your father and I have discussed it. How about we give half of your workshop's annual profits to Xiuer as her dowry? That way, she'll respect our Su family!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought, "Is this something a human would say?" What she meant was that she was giving Su Xiuer 50% of her family's jam business as a dowry.

Is this a joke? What does their jam workshop have to do with whether Su Xiuer gets married or not?

Pei Yuan frowned and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. He didn't say anything, but Su Xiaoxiao knew from the expression on his face that this matter was no longer going to pass with Pei Yuan.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Madam Wang, "Mother, this workshop is actually a joint venture between Qian Musheng and me, each owning fifty percent. If we give half of the shares to Xiuer as her dowry, as you said, we will lose money, which would be considered a breach of contract, and we would have to pay a thousand taels of silver. If you can help us get this money, I will agree to your request."

"What? One thousand taels of silver!"

The people present were astonished as if they had heard that aliens were about to invade Earth; their mouths were agape.

They had never heard of this number before, and it seemed they weren't very good at math either. They struggled to count to one hundred, let alone one thousand.
